Over and over, philosophers have claimed that environmental holism in general, and Leopold’s Land Ethic in particular, ought to be rejected on the basis that it has fascistic implications. I argue that the Land Ethic is not tantamount to environmental fascism because Leopold’s moral theory accounts for the moral standing of the individual as well as “the land,” a holistic ethic better protects and defends the individual in the long-run, and the term “fascism” is misapplied in this case.
